Jeremiáš 52
1 V jedenmecítma letech byl Sedechiáš, když počal kralovati, a jedenácte let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Chamutal, dcera Jeremiášova z Lebna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became the King [of Judah]. He ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of [a man named] Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
2 I činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, všecko tak, jakž byl dělal Joakim.
Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
3 Nebo se to dálo pro rozhněvání Hospodinovo proti Jeruzalému a Judovi, až je i zavrhl od tváři své. V tom zprotivil se Sedechiáš králi Babylonskému.
[The events that are summarized here happened] because Yahweh was angry with [the people of] Jerusalem and [of other places in] Judah, and finally he (exiled them/forced them to go to other countries) [and said that he did not want to have anything to do with] them any more. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Stalo se pak léta devátého kralování jeho, měsíce desátého, v desátý den téhož měsíce, že přitáhl Nabuchodonozor král Babylonský se vším vojskem svým k Jeruzalému, a položili se u něho, a vzdělali proti němu hradbu vůkol.
[So, ] on January 15, when Zedekiah had been ruling for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon led his entire army to attack Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and built dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [to enable them to attack the city].
5 A bylo město obleženo až do jedenáctého léta krále Sedechiáše.
They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
6 V kterémžto, měsíce čtvrtého, devátého dne téhož měsíce, rozmohl se hlad v městě, a neměl chleba lid země.
When Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, by July 18 of that year, the (famine/lack of food) in the city had become very severe, and there was no [more] food for the people [to eat].
7 I prolomeny jsou zdi městské, a všickni muži bojovní utekli, a vyšli z města v noci skrze bránu mezi dvěma zdmi, u zahrady královské, (Kaldejští pak leželi okolo města), a ušli cestou pouště.
Then [the soldiers of Babylonia] broke through [a section of] the city wall, and all the [Israeli] soldiers fled. But because the city was surrounded by soldiers from Babylonia, [Zedekiah and the Israeli] soldiers [waited until] it became dark. Then they left the city through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they ran towards the Jordan River Valley.
8 I honilo vojsko Kaldejské krále, a postihli Sedechiáše na rovinách Jerišských, a všecko vojsko jeho rozprchlo se od něho.
But the soldiers of Babylonia pursued King Zedekiah, and they caught up with him on the plains near Jericho. [He was alone because] all his men had deserted him and had scattered.
9 A tak javše krále, přivedli ho k králi Babylonskému do Ribla v zemi Emat, kdežto učinil o něm soud.
The soldiers of Babylonia took him to the king of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
10 I zmordoval král Babylonský syny Sedechiášovy před očima jeho, ano i všecka knížata Judská zmordoval v Ribla.
They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
11 Oči pak Sedechiášovy oslepil, a svázav ho řetězy ocelivými král Babylonský, dal jej dovésti do Babylona, a dal jej do vězení až do dne smrti jeho.
[Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon. They put him in a prison, and he remained there until the day that he died.
12 Potom měsíce pátého, desátého dne téhož měsíce, léta devatenáctého kralování Nabuchodonozora krále Babylonského, přitáhl Nebuzardan, hejtman nad žoldnéři, kterýž sloužíval králi Babylonskému, do Jeruzaléma.
On August 17 of that year, which was when King Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost 19 years, Nebuzaradan, who was the captain of the king’s bodyguards and one of the king’s officials, arrived in Jerusalem.
13 A zapálil dům Hospodinův, i dům královský, i všecky domy v Jeruzalémě, a tak všecky domy veliké vypálil ohněm.
He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. They [also] destroyed all the important buildings [in the city].
14 Všecky také zdi Jeruzalémské vůkol pobořilo všecko vojsko Kaldejské, kteréž bylo s tím hejtmanem nad žoldnéři.
Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
15 Přitom z chaterného lidu, totiž ostatek lidu, kterýž byl zůstal v městě, i poběhlce, kteříž byli ustoupili k králi Babylonskému, a jiný obecný lid zavedl Nebuzardan, hejtman nad žoldnéři.
Then Nebuzaradan (forced to go/exiled) [to Babylon] some of the poorest people, those Israelis who had said they would support the king of Babylon, the rest of the craftsmen, and other people who had remained in Jerusalem.
16 Toliko něco chaterného lidu země zanechal Nebuzardan, hejtman nad žoldnéři, aby byli vinaři a oráči.
But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
17 Nadto sloupy měděné, kteříž byli v domě Hospodinově, i podstavky i moře měděné, kteréž bylo v domě Hospodinově, ztloukli Kaldejští, a odvezli všecku měď z nich do Babylona.
The soldiers from Babylonia broke [into pieces] the [huge] bronze pillars that were in front of the temple, and the [large] bronze water tank, and the [ten bronze water] carts, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
18 Též hrnce. lopaty a nástroje hudebné, a kotlíky a kadidlnice, i všecky nádoby měděné, jimiž sloužili, pobrali.
They also took away the basins [for holding the ashes from the burned sacrifices], the shovels [for cleaning out the ashes], the tools for snuffing out the wicks of the lamps, the basins [for holding the blood of the sacrificed animals], the dishes [for incense], and all the [other] bronze items that were used when sacrifices were made at the temple.
19 I medenice a nádoby k oharkům, s kotlíky a hrnci, a svícny, a kadidlnice a koflíky, a cožkoli zlatého a stříbrného bylo, pobral hejtman nad žoldnéři;
Nebuzaradan also [told his soldiers to] take away the small bowls, the dishes for burning incense, the basins, pots, lampstands, bowls [for incense], and the bowls used for pouring out the wine offerings. They took all the other items that were made of pure gold or silver.
20 Sloupy dva, moře jedno, a volů dvanáct měděných, kteříž byli pod podstavky, jichž byl nadělal král Šalomoun do domu Hospodinova. Nebylo váhy mědi všech těch nádob.
The bronze from the two pillars, the [large water] tank and the twelve statues of oxen that were beneath it, and the water carts, was more/heavier than they could weigh. Those things had been made for the temple during the time that Solomon was the king.
21 Nebo sloupů těch, osmnácti loket byla výška sloupu jednoho, kterýž okolek měl dvanácti loktů, ztlouští pak čtyř prstů byl dutý.
Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall and (18 feet/5.5 meters) around. They were hollow, and each had sides/walls that were (3 in./8 cm.) thick.
22 A makovice na něm měděná, a makovice jedné výška pěti loket, a mřežování i jablka zrnatá na té makovici vůkol; všecko bylo měděné. Takovýž byl i sloup druhý s zrnatými jablky.
The bronze head on the top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/over 2 meters) high and was decorated all around with a bronze [network of figures that represented] pomegranates.
23 A bylo jablek zrnatých devadesát a šest po každé straně; všudy jablek zrnatých bylo po stu na mřežování vůkol.
There was a total of 100 figures of pomegranates on the network at the top, 96 of which could be seen from the ground.
24 Vzal také hejtman nad žoldnéři Saraiáše kněze předního, a Sofoniáše kněze nižšího, a tři strážné prahu.
When Nebuzaradan [returned to Babylon], he took [with him as prisoners] Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah who was Seraiah’s deputy, and the three men who guarded the entrances [to the temple].
25 A z města vzal komorníka jednoho, kterýž byl hejtmanem nad muži bojovnými, a sedm mužů, jenž bývali při králi, kteříž nalezeni byli v městě, a předního spisovatele vojska, kterýž popisoval vojsko z lidu země, a šedesáte mužů z lidu země, kteříž nalezeni byli v městě.
He found [some other] people who were [hiding] in the city. [So] from them he took a commander of the army [of Judah], seven of the king’s advisors, the army commander’s chief secretary who was in charge of recruiting [soldiers for the army], and 60 [other] soldiers.
26 Zjímav tedy je Nebuzardan, hejtman nad žoldnéři, přivedl je k králi Babylonskému do Ribla.
Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
27 I pobil je král Babylonský, a zmordoval je v Ribla v zemi Emat, a tak zaveden jest Juda z země své.
There at Riblah in the Hamath region, the king of Babylon commanded that they [all] be executed. [Many of the people of] Judah were (forced to leave/exiled from) their own land.
28 Tenť jest lid, kterýž zavedl Nabuchodonozor léta sedmého, Judských tři tisíce a třimecítma.
The number of people who were captured and sent to Babylon at that time, when Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost seven years, was 3,023.
29 Léta osmnáctého Nabuchodonozora zavedl z Jeruzaléma duší osm set třidceti a dvě.
Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
30 Léta třimecítmého Nabuchodonozora zavedl Nebuzardan, hejtman nad žoldnéři, Judské, duší sedm set čtyřidceti a pět, všech duší čtyry tisíce a šest set.
When he had been ruling almost 23 years, he sent Nebuzaradan [to Jerusalem again], and he brought back 745 [more Israelis to Babylonia]. That was a total of 4,600 Israelis [who were taken to Babylonia].
31 Stalo se také třidcátého sedmého léta po zajetí Joachina krále Judského, dvanáctého měsíce, dvadcátého pátého dne téhož měsíce, povýšil Evilmerodach král Babylonský toho léta, když počal kralovati, Joachina krále Judského, pustiv ho z žaláře.
After King Jehoiachin of Judah had been in prison [in Babylon] for almost thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin and ordered that he be released from prison. That was on March 31 of the year that Evil-Merodach became king.
32 A mluvil s ním dobrotivě, i stolici jeho postavil nad stolice králů, kteříž s ním byli v Babyloně.
He [always] spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and gave him a position in which he was honored more than [all] the other kings [who had been exiled/taken to Babylon].
33 Změnil též roucho jeho, kteréž měl v žaláři, a jídal chléb před ním vždycky, po všecky dny života svého.
He [supplied new clothes] for Jehoiachin, to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison. [He also allowed] Jehoiachin to eat with him every day, all during the rest of his life.
34 Nebo vyměřený pokrm ustavičně dáván byl jemu od krále Babylonského, a to na každý den, až do dne smrti jeho, po všecky dny života jeho.
Every day, the King [of Babylon] gave him some money [to buy the things that he needed. That continued] until the day that Jehoiachin died.
